How do I skip all but a few folders?
I have an old Windows client that I would like to continue to back up, but only a few folders. I want to skip all but two folders.
What is the best way to do that? I tried Global Directives of
<< "c:\" >>
+skip: .
<< "c:\folder of interest" >>
+forget
But that did not work.
I also tied changing the saveset from 'All' to "C:\Folder of Interest" but a test backup still showed Networker backing up the whole disk.
Thanks -

In the properties of the client, remove All from the selection list and enter the exact path for the two folders you want to back up.

Mark,
Thanks. I thought I'd tried that and it had not worked. But I think I changed by 'Incr' client and they tested with the 'Full' client and so got everything. I've now changed both and it appears to be working fine.
Thank you - Justus
